Anti-twist
weighing pan for integration of the balance into automated equipment

The
Sartorius Genius ME is revolutionary difference in function and
design. The perfection of German made weighing technology
for analytical and semimicro balances.

The Sartorius GENIUS ME balance series offers four semi-microbalances
models and three semi-microbalances models to meet your highest
demands. The semi-microbalances in the 0.01 mg to 410
g range and inculdes new for 2006 the ME235P-SD special pipette
calibration model. The analytical balances offer weighing
capacities from 0.1 mg to an unrivaled whopping 610 gram weighing
capacity.

At the core of the GENIUS ME is the modern and extremely appealing
design is a monolithic weighing system of superior performance that
boasts weighing specifications previously unmatched by other models.
Amazingly lightning fast results with reliable and extremely accurate
weighing results. The GENIUS series features the highest level
of standard equipment to fulfill all the requirements of your analytical
laboratory and provides exemplary ergonomic operation in all weighing
processes as well.

Modern
draft shield technology known as F.A.S.T. (Fully Automatic by
Soft Touch) doesn't just stand for the fastest operating, fully automatic motorized draft shield, but also denotes the
highest degree of flexibility of the GENIUS series in adapting
to the user's accustomed work routine.
A revolutionary difference in function and design with "self-teaching"
functions for optimal adaptation to every weighing situation.

Models
in the GENIUS ME series are equipped with a novelty in the world
of weighing technology, the built-in N.I.C.E. (Neutralization
by Ionic Charge Elimination) static eliminator, which removes
interference caused by electrostatic charges. It easily neutralizes electrostatic charges on samples or tare containers
at the touch of a key. N.I.C.E. eliminates a previously
unsolved problem. Once again, Sartorius emphasizes its expertise
in converting innovative developments into user-specific solutions
and including them as standard features. When integrated
into a quality management system, the new balance series also
offers optimal support for monitoring of test and measuring equipment
and fulfilling documentation requirements. The graphic display
has excellent readability and shows clear prompts in plain English
to provide operator guidance for even the most complex processes
during weighing.

GENIUS
ME offers the highest level of ergonomic operation for optimal
functionality. Designed by Sartorius for the real world.
Modern key technology helps to reduce fatigue and contribute to
a relaxed work environment, even during routine procedures.
If your requirements go beyond just superior weighing performance,
the GENIUS ME offers a flexible solution with its complete software
package of laboratory applications supplied as standard equipment.

Software
features include the SQmin function & Show Uncertainty-Reduce
Errors functions. The SQmin function displays the minimum sample weight allowed according to the United
States Pharmacopeia (USP). Show Uncertainty-Reduce
Errors functions provides dynamic display of the uncertainty
of measurement and process accuracy in accordance with DHD.
You can read more about USP. current ed., General Chapters,
Section <41>, "Weights and Balances." Laboratory managers
alway need to be careful to comply with all FDA regulations
to prevent getting written up for USP XXV Section <41>
for weight and balance determination and receiving a warning
notice.

In accordance with the guidelines of the United States Pharmacopeia,
the uncertainty of measurement may not be less than 0.1%
of the sample weight when determining a sample quantity.
The requirement of specifying and documenting the minimum
sample quantity in accordance with USP (chapter 41) directly
at the weighing location is becoming more significant.
The new SQmin function allows the GENIUS balance to be programmed
with the required minimum sample weight for the balance
at the location where it is set up. It is entered
and stored into the balance memory and can be viewed as
required by the user. During operation the SQmin label
on the control unit will flash as long as the minimum sample
quantity has not been reached. In the print out, weights
that are below the minimum limit are denoted by an asterisk.
Once the minimum weight is exceeded SQmin no longer flashes
and printouts do not include asterisks. GLP-compliant
printouts can be configured to include the label "SQmin
= weight, unit".

The built-in isoCAL self calibration and fully automatic
adjustment function featuring calibration record storage
and ISO/GMP-compliant, user-configurable records.
Printouts makes GENIUS ME an ideal component for use in
well-known quality management systems such as GLP/GMP, ISO
9000-9004, QS 9000, VDA 6.1 and 6.1 and EN 45000, including
the following versions, and output to your SOP. All
GENIUS ME models completely fulfill all requirements.

GENIUS.
A balance for
all laboratory applications.

GENIUS,
the ultimate in weighing technology. The GENIUS series features
a complete package of built-in application programs that go above
and beyond the standard application programs used in the analytical
laboratory. User-friendly GENIUS enables you to easily take
control of even the most sophisticated and complex tasks.
In addition to the "standard" programs, such as counting, weighing
in percent, checkweighing, animal weighing, formulation, and totalizing,
GENIUS supports the following applications:

Density
Determination

Calculation
of weights using a definable factor or equation

Time-controlled
functions

Statistical
evaluation

Differential
weighing/backweighing

Air
buoyancy correction for high precision, absolute weighing operations

Air
density determination

Programs
like density determination are used by manufacturers of plastics,
rubber, adhesives, ceramics, concrete, and brake pads in the QC
area. The balance can indicate the consistency or quality
of materials by measuring their specific gravity values automatically,
thus saving a large amount of time.

Time-controlled functions let the user program the balance
with easy-to-understand alphanumeric prompts to display
weights at specific timed sequences. This is useful
when testing samples over a period of time.

For
2006 Sartorius changed the keypad template from a bright
yellow to a light brown keypad template.

Shown
above is the ME235P-SD which has a opening in the top of
the glass draftshield and shorter draftshield to accommodate
for a pipette. Requires the purchase of OPTIONAL Sartorius
YCP03-1 Pipette calibration set with software. The
kit includes PICASO pipette calibration software along with
the evaporation chamber.
